Yep--exactly the reason.  The various IM service providers, like the  
various free email providers, feel that the data sent through/stored  
on their servers belongs to them, and that's just not something you  
want happening to the sort of internal company information that can  
be blithely send via IM.

Bummer--I'm really looking for help on the server decision:  once the  
server is settled, finding clients is pretty trivial.

Unfortunately, that's not enforceable, so isn't an option.  If there  
were no way to do IM other than with OTR enabled, this would be the  
way to go (wouldn't have to maintain yet another common service in- 
house), but the world just isn't there yet.

Thanks for the suggestions, Scott.  Anyone else have thoughts?  I  
can't believe y'all don't have an opinion ;^)
